“Keep your heads high, chests out, eyes looking straight ahead!”

“Your gaze must be steadfast, like a hero’s!”

“Fold your arms in front of your chest… don’t worry if this feels too cheesy, we’ll fix it in post-production… lift your chin higher, even higher, give off that ‘I’m the best in the world’ vibe, look down on others through your nostrils!”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“Try a sneer… I mean a sneer, not a silly smile!”

“…”

Qin Continent.

Training Center.

Suddenly, the athletes were asked to make a propaganda video, akin to a pep rally.

It wasn’t strange in itself.

But when the director presented the shooting requirements, the athletes were puzzled.

Were the poses demanded by the director too arrogant?

Would athletes from other continents think the Qin people too ostentatious?

Well, can’t twist an arm that’s thicker than your thigh, right?

In the end, everyone filmed as directed by the director, though many felt embarrassed and thought the styling was rather juvenile.

At this time.

The date for the Blue Songlympics was approaching, and continents were successively releasing their expedition propaganda videos.

Just like at the Bluelympics.

Even before the Blue Songlympics had started, netizens from different continents had already formed seven factions.

Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, you name it.

Zhong Continent hadn’t yet joined in the fray; cultural barriers stood in the way, or there would have been eight factions lively at it.

After the filming, post-production was quite straightforward.

Simply a matter of editing and scoring, then sent off to the top.

The leadership of the Qin Continent placed great importance on this, and after receiving the propaganda video, issued the order immediately:

Promote it across the entire Qin Continent!

Only the Qin officialdom could muster such force.

Once the order was given, from TV channels to subway entrances to the large screens in various plazas of Qin Continent, many public spaces almost simultaneously featured the propaganda video!

No escaping it on the internet either.

…

Qin Continent Music Academy.

Cafeteria.

Lately, the students’ discussions revolved entirely around the Blue Songlympics.

“The list of delegates hasn’t been announced yet, I wonder who from our Qin Continent will participate.”

“You can guess; those representing our Qin music scene at the Blue Songlympics will certainly be the top figures of Qin’s music world; we’ll know when the propaganda video is out.”

“Our Qin’s propaganda videos are coming out very slowly.”

“I’ve heard that in a week, the continents will be heading to Wei Continent. It will be interesting to see how our Qin, as Blue Star’s Land of Music, compares to Zhong Continent.”

“We can’t beat Zhong Continent.”

“Hey, why isn’t there any music today?”

Suddenly a student spoke up. The cafeteria at the Qin Continent Music Academy was equipped with a large screen on the wall and surrounded by high-quality speakers.

After all, this is a music academy.

Normally, there would be music playing during meal times in the cafeteria.

Today was unusually quiet, with no music playing during mealtime.

Someone couldn’t help but glance at the large screen, blurting out unconsciously:

“Look!”

This person pointed towards the large screen with their chopsticks.

“Eh!”

Some followed the gesture and then joined in the exclamations: “Is this… the propaganda video?”

Yes.

It was the propaganda video.

The screen was pitch black, and then abruptly a spotlight shone down.

With a “clang,” light pierced the darkness.

A group of people wearing uniform white attire appeared.

Faces not clear, the shot only showed their backs, with one word projected on them:

“Qin”

Before the students could discuss further, the speakers in the cafeteria suddenly roared to life!

The moment the music reached the ears, it was an ensemble of instruments!

With piano and strings as the base, the guitar and wind instruments entered simultaneously; the low strings vibrated with the drumbeats!

The robust rhythmic feel!

Like the powerful heartbeat of ancient behemoths, complementing the melody.

Majestic and grand!

An imposing momentum!

Despite the tempo being neither fast nor slow, it created a feeling of being on edge, like a fully drawn bow!

Ready to unleash!

The camera finally turned to the front!

“Fei Yang!”

“Shu Yu!”

“Chen Ping!”

“Chen Zhiyu!”

“Wei Haoyun!”

“Liu Zhihui!”

“…”

Several musicians already very familiar to the students appeared on screen.

Though they were wearing white coats, in the students’ eyes, these garments seemed to transform into battle robes!

Everyone was spellbound!

The music marched on, gradually rising!

“So fired up!”

No one knew who had shouted this phrase, but it perfectly captured everyone’s mood.

Incredibly fired up!

Extremely shocking!

The kind that stirs boundless imagination and exhilaration, imbued with an intense sense of the epic!

Majestic and vast!

Instruments resonating in harmony!

Filled with countless emotions!

Like spreading fear, like boiling fighting spirit, like burning blood, like a tragic roar!

There was some repression.

Yet it seemed like something was struggling furiously to break free, as if a scene from an epic blockbuster was about to unfold!

At this moment.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

All eyes converged on the big screen, watching those familiar, and not so familiar, contestants appear in close-up shots.

Each person, just a few seconds on screen.

Some with defiant arrogance; some with calm and conceit; some with fervor and excitement;

Determined!

Composed!

Eyes sparkling!

This was their commonality!

And then as various prominent instruments moved from solo to convergence, rhythmically ascending to the climax, a woman’s voice suddenly began to sing—

“Ahhhhhhhh”

It was like a fountain soaring into the sky, reaching its zenith, then turning into countless glistening drops, with a melody so beautiful it was explosive!

At this moment.

Goosebumps rose on all the students’ bodies!

Everyone was too caught up to count the stars in the shot, nearly everyone’s scalp tingling from the music, their bodies restless, wishing they could be part of it!

“Qin!”

An intense sense of regional pride spontaneously emerged!

Even the cafeteria lady, who forgot her special technique of shaking the serving ladle, served a student a plate full of ribs, wielding the ladle with more force than usual…

Over five minutes!

A full five minutes!

The whole cafeteria was silent, only the deep music igniting everyone’s passion, calming down only in the last few seconds!

An extra-long subtitle appeared on the screen!

It was the names of the contestants from Qin Continent!

Of course.

There was also the information about the composition.

Title: Victory (victory)

Composer: Xian Yu

…

The music stopped, but the cafeteria remained dead silent.

Until—

A shrill scream!

The whole cafeteria exploded following the scream!

“I could eat three more big bowls of rice!”

“Wine!”

“Where would the cafeteria get wine…”

“I only regret being born a few years too late, otherwise I would definitely represent Qin Continent in the competition!”

“They’ll definitely hold it again in the future, I swear I will appear in a promo like this one day!”

“Is this a new work by Fish Papa?”

“A composition like this—Fish Papa, take my knees!”

“I feel like we’ve already won, the promo videos from other continents are nothing compared to ours!”

“What the hell does Zhong Continent think it is, a tiny cracker!”

That student who previously said we couldn’t match up to Zhong Continent is now brimming with pride, even radiating aggressiveness.
